A Proven Visual Communications Partner with European Presence.
OpportunityHinkle Fieldhouse at Butler University underwent a multi-year
renovation. The facility needed to modernize while maintaining
its integrity as a National Historic Landmark. In addition to facilities
improvements, Butler wanted to celebrate their history with
grand-format graphic installations.
SolutionFirehouse partnered with Butler to produce and install a variety of
graphics throughout the Fieldhouse. The main entry corridor has
the Butler name and historic photos reproduced on mesh banner
and installed within the steel support trusses. Hallway walls were
first refinished with a smooth board and then wallpapered with
historic team photos. A 100-foot-long mural celebrates the history
of the Butler Bulldogs. It is mounted directly to the corridor wall with
concrete PSV.
ResultsThe $36 million renovation took several years to complete. The goal
of upgrading the fan experience was realized without losing or
compromising the history. The graphics integrate perfectly with the
structure.
